Dark Souls 3 - PvP character creation guide/checklist by Warmag2

Simply put, this is a guide for creating a PvP char in DS3 with the minimum hassle recquired, it fulfills these recquirements:

grants most of the spells

grants all gestures

grants all multiplayer items

keeps the maximum amount of areas multiplayer-capable (i.e. the boss is alive)

14/+9 estus if you want to keep Aldritch alive, full 15/+10 otherwise

This guide is not in-depth and not concerned with finding specific
items of any kind, because it assumes you can transfer everything down
from your NG++ characters. Neither does it list detailed locations for
the items it recommends to find. It is meant to be a time-efficient way
to run through the game in an order, which produces an optimal result in
the PvP sense and following it fulfills all the requirements for
granting untransferable, once-per-playthrough features and items.

As such, the guide does not recquire NG+, but being in NG+ has
obviously some advantages (such as the possibility of being able to
obtain all the spells).

I will try to keep updating this as errors are noticed. The
formatting is as such that first I tell what to do in the area and then,
whether the boss should be kept alive or not.
